1.) What is genetic drift? population is small so the allele frequencies in a populaiton change as a result of random events. 2.) What frequency divides the number of a certain allele by the total number of allele types? allele frequency. 3.) What term do population geneticists use to describe the total genetic information available in a population?
4.) What is a phenotype frequency? number of individuals with a particular phenotype divided by the total number of induvuduals in the population. 5.) What is the movement of individuals into a population? imigration. 6.) In what type of selection do individuals with the average form of a trait have the highest fitness? trait having the highest fitness. 7.) What is the selection of a mate based on similarity of characteristics?
8.) What is an example of sexual selection?
9.) What is the difference between prezygotic isolation and postzygotic isolation?
